It's been just over a year since the romantic escapades of Tiger Woods’ private life were exposed, and it seems the troubled golf pro has lost almost all of his major endorsement deals as a result.
After 13 years with Golf Digest, Woods' second-longest endorsement deal next to Nike, the company has decided to part ways with the athlete, according to the Associated Press.
Woods said in a statement released by the magazine:
- "I enjoyed my relationship with Golf Digest but we have decided it's now time for a break."
This announcement comes after a long list of companies have already ditched Tiger including Gillette, Accenture, AT&T and Gatorade. Electronic Arts have also removed Woods from the cover of his own video game. Ouch.
The golf pro's last column will run in the February issue.
